On Tuesday most remarkable
occurrence followed a colored funeral
at Mount Pleasant, about sixty miles
from Nashville, Tenn, nine persons
being killed by single stroke OF
lightning. The party had scarcely
left the grave, when a most severe
thunder and rain storm burst upon
them. All ran for trees scattered
about the graveyard. Scarcely had
the nine unfOrtunates reached the
shelter of an immense oak, when
terrific thundercloud burst and the
tree was struck. The whole party
of nine tumbled down together, and
died instantly.

looking FIR exclaimed psrspiring citizen
As his eve fell on the sign ~Birds boarded

aay or two ago. @Now won't have to cart
that COMPOUNDED canary Of Maria's round to
half dozen summer resorts this year." and
be heaved a sigh Of relief as he disappeared
around the corner
The question Of the proper care Of pets
during the summer is one Of the most vexsd
Of al in the nestle economy. The aver
aee summer resort host win not allow them
on the premises they can't be left behind
shut up in the town house, and some costly
middle course has to be adopted. Nearly
all the retail bird-dealers viii take birds for
the season at 25 cents a week at the owners
risk. Business is dull with them during the
summer, and they have plenty OF vacant
space. In the dark, musty rooms which
these dealers seem to prefer, the canaries,
parrots, and mocking birds whistle and
chatter the hot days away.
With dogs and cats the problem becomes
a still more difficult one. Some dealer viii
take a few dogs for the summer, but the
candidate has to confirm closely TO
certain requirement. as to size and con-
dition. The charge is 50 week. In the
words OF one Of the dealers: ave take our
pick. II the dog is small and sound. we'll
take il if we amt full already But we
don't want any watch-dogs or high-bred set
ters on our hands We can't take many be-
cause then we create a nuisance, the neigh
bors complain OF US, and We have to shut up
or get out.
Cats find no welcome anywhere, and the
only way is to get some ancient da' o to
take them to her heart and home at so much
per week, and the charge is rarely small
one. In view OF the great demand for ac-
comInodaticns of this kind, it would be
good investment for some enterprising fan
cier 10 hire a spacious place in the suburbs,
ft it up for canine summer resort, and go
into the business wholesale. A little adver-
tisiny would probably bring large trade,
and the introduction of proper system
ought to leave c cool margin for profit.
The amount os money that PEOPLE ere

the doctors bills which many Of then run

A Parson Driven out of Town.
AdcI (GoD Cor. AIapaha Star.

Hntt NtTtt.) Cor. AtnpUhU StUf.
From gentleman who was in Valdosta, at
the tine we learn of the following sensational
episode which took place there last Friday:
From What we can gather it seems Parson
- not long since married a young lady
of Valdosta, but the union not being sur
rounded by the halo of domestic felicity
the young wife separated herself from her
husband and returned to her former
home. On the day mentioned Parson f -
arrived on the train. He had not been in
town long before perfect brigade of both
white and negro boys were organized for
his special reception. The toy shops were
ransacked and every conceivable variety of
musical toy, bell, iangling and jingling APP
paratus available were brought into requiSi-
ton. A large banner, with the gaudy in
scription salvation, Army Lead by Par
son F. was waving at the head of their
column. They gave him an enthusiastic re-
cSeption. The white boys bowed
him, the negro boys belled
him. They all booted, footed, rang
and cheered at him. They followed him up
and down the sidewalks, holding the flag in
front of him, jumping at him and greeting
his ears with the screechug blasts of the
toy trumpets until he sought refuge in
Stuart's Hotel. Even hero he was not free
from them. They entered the hotel with
him and surrounded him like so many
blackbirds around hawk Finding
no relief from his prosecutors at the
hotel, he next bent his steps towards the
depot, the brigade of boys still increasing in
number and noise until it seemed that all
the demons and evil spirits from dark re
gions of pandemonium had assembled TO
pay him tribute. All the way through he
appeared to bear his persecution with an
air of Christian fortitude, and even leisurely
pulled away mt his cigar while the young
urchins would spring up before him and send
deafening blasts into his face. While at the
depot, at which place some 800 or 400 of
the citizens had assembled, the boys kept up
their tii'esome serenade, and even followed
him to his seat in the train, and only left
him, with an extra flourish of the trumpet
as the train moved off which bore Parson
F. to more genial chimes, feeling, no
doubt, that he had escaped from the demons
of temporary hell

A Savannah Lady's Laurels.

Miss Fedora Isabel Wilbur, of this city,
graduated at the Elmira. n. Y, College
Wednesday last and won high honors. Be
sides her high class standing Miss Wilbur
creditably served as the editor of SybH, the
college journal, for the last year. The Elmira
Gazette, in its account of the commence
ment exercises, has the following concern
ing the fair representative:
The essay of Miss Fedora Isabel Wilbur, of
Savannah, Ga, was one of the most original
which has been read from the college com
mencement stage. 1t was in a humorous vein
and on the topic, The Natural History Of
iienttS. The essayist advanced the theory
that genius is propagated by a form of bacteria,
as fever and diphtheria are spread by germs.
She held that the genius deserves little praise
for what he does, only for Supplying the germs
with solid food upon which to feed. The rever-
ence we feel for the belongings Of the great and
the desire to possess them was accounted for by
the theory that some of the germs may have
remained about them and we may catch the
disease. The crank differs from the
genius only in degree, the eSsayist
thought. The former received the germ from
nature, the latter received the germ from genius,
and by that time il had lost some of It's viru.
lence The crauk communicated the bacteria TO
Others and the lobbyist results, thence eccentric
people There are different orders Of the germs.
The poetic order is particularly virulent about
sprlngtne, and poems on spring are the result.
The germs work until November, when poems
on autumn result, and the germs lose their pow
crs for the remainder Of the year IL would he
a blessing, the writer thought, If the theory
could be founded fod inoculating for genius, the
only difficulty being TO find genius from whom
70 secure the virus. The essay caused much
amusement and was loudly applauded

A Vast Pile of Gold and silver.

tE''tp't''""'
The United States Treasury to-day is a
vast bank in metallic money and money
metals. Probably it has the greatest hoard
of the precious metals, coined and uncoined,
anywhere gathered on the face of the earth
and this is not all gathered in one place.
On July | the Treasury of the
United States had S27S, 900, 900 in gold, $685.
100000 being in bars, and S2l5, 100000 of
silver of which less than S4 600, 900 was I'M
coined The amount of Treasury
notes on hand was less than $4,000. 600
The Secretary of the Treasury has been
able, by carrying gold bars, to keep down
the amount of cash taken from the monetary
circulation to the lowest limit. 1t is amaz-
ing, when we think of the monetary condi-
ton of this country forty years ago, when
the supply of both metals was very small
thirty years ago, when money as good as
gold was unknown between Pennsylvania
and California; and twenty years ago, when
this side of the Rocky Mountains not a silver
piece was visible, and gold was the centre of
a vast daily circulation, i'll which the Treas
ury notes passed current at Soc on dollar
or less, it is amazing, in view of the past,
that to-day our national Treasury is a vast
bullion bank
